Len's ranting time....

[Chica Yeyé 41]

Hey all, I know you are the only ones that actually give a rodent's butt, so here goes my rant. Family just doesn't get it, and other people just give me lame lines (alongside the "why don't you stay here" one which I hate the most) so we've stopped talking to pretty much everyone around us .

I had already planned my "escape route" and was happy....

Plan a : If interview 1st half of sept, quit Aug 31, move last week of sept.

Plan b : If interview 2nd half of sept, quit sept 15, move last week of sept.

NOW, with the utterly ambivalent and sh!tty responses from MTL, I am so upset it's not even funny - move could happen in october (and there goes 800 CAD more in another month's rent). Can't plan sh!t, can't look for appartment, can't look for job.... argggghhhh. Feel trapped, encased, and more depressed than usual. I am still hoping for a september interview (I am on MTL system since end of March, so it should be); but the pressure mounts. Dr. Bren is done with graduate school, bored sh!tless of being here without doing squat (student visa holder, so work is out of the ???) and without being able to just grab a job in the US since he would have to leave without yours truly and he just won't do that (another reason to love the man even more). Add to it the fact that I hate my college job (they hired me to do one thing and I ended up doing sh!t I don't know sh!t about and don't want to do). ARGH. I tell you this is driving me crazy. REason why I haven't posted much. I am upset, sad, angry, and don't like being so negative.

This is my sunday vent... brought to you courtesy of MTL.

Len, insane and

Ugh, sorry to hear about the frustration. Believe me, we all here understand! Vent away. And when you're done, vent some more! People who aren't/haven't been through this just don't understand how our lives hang in the balance while waiting for approvals, packets, interviews, etc.

I agrea , anyone who ask why wont you stay and try to find someone here are inconsiderate SOB , and just dont know how it feels to have found the true soulmate , people like that its like you wanna scream at them and say , HEY FORK HEAD WAKE UP AM LEAVING COSE I LOVE MY PARTNER GET IT ?

anyhow us here I belive we do understand the frustration its very nerve wrackin the waite and waite and waite some more , so vent and vent and vent somemore ( do some venting for me since I usualy just keep it all bundled up and say stay strong at least we are together , while the inside is burning with frustrations and disapointments )

Hey len, sorry to hear about it all. We all pretty much know how that feels. The waiting for stuff to happen during your process can be excruciatingly boring, pointless, depressing (insert any negative adjective here!) It is almost impossible to make plans! I also know what it feels like to feel like you just can't be positive at all. A lot of time in the last couple months I have felt that way.

Butttt.SMILE! I know it's hard but...try to smile. Things will work. You've got a great guy and patience will be a virtue.

Len, thanks for posting that and not me,

I even had a fight with the landlords office, trying to see if I could give notice on the 15th instead of the 1st, at least save $400+ no go, first of the month....grrrrrr

[KarenCee 3]

(((((((((((Len)))))))))))) Wish I had more than just a hug to offer. I do hope something happens soon though...I can only imagine how frustrated you are. Vent all you want hon...you know we're family here and can totally understand frustration and feeling like sh!t about this process.

Don't worry... we understand That silver lining is going to be more visible soon... ! In the meantime, you *can* look for the jobs and apartments and make mental notes on where you'd like to apply for those as soon as you have the go-ahead.

Honestly, with all the hassle I'm thinking Canadians are better off coming in as they usually do as tourists, marrying on day 61 and filing for AOS. 5-7 months for a rubber-stamp interview is just ridiculous.

[L_n_O 3]

got you on my mind...

Vent away girl, it's what we're here for. The frustration of trying to build your life around a timeline that MTL has an iron fist around and keeps secret is enormously aggravating.

Stay strong, I just know you'll end up with a September interview. Of all people right now, you guys deserve it!

[vanee 13]

We understand your frustration. This time will pass, and better times are waiting for you. Hang in there.

[MissStacey 1]

I'm sorry you are going through so much ####### right now Len. The end is coming.

You'll be living your new lives in the US before you know it

[Carlawarla 1]

What would we do without VJ eh? I love the empathy here, from people who know EXACTLY what we're going through and how frustrating this process. One day, we'll all be happily in the US, and expending empathy on newbies. I'm so sorry for all of you guys going through Montreal and having a heck of a time getting a date for your interview!

We do understand and care about you! Hope venting here helps. We're here for you!
